Which only Leandros saw, yes?

Regardless, as I said, he came willingly in the end anyway, so it's kinda moot.

Ayup.

The whole thing was a great setup for a sequel, in my opinion.

I am willing to bet that Titus joins the ranks of some shiny silver-grey knights in the second game.

More likely he becomes Deathwatch.

He won't BECOME a Grey Knight. He might fight alongside them, but it's impossible for him to BECOME one.

Well, he did a number on chaos, and is immune to the warp. Any Ordo really. I just hope we get more then one planet.

He's not immune, he's resistant.... there's a distinct difference.

I just have to clear something up there is no way Nemeroth is a BT he is a phsycher a phsycher!!!!!!! Other than that this does just seem to be a big set up for a sequel.

Spoiler:

He seemed to rip the planet cracking artifact in half and be just fine.

Seemed to yes. It could very well be that he got lucky after taking that risk.

Well Titus is definitely not a blank - that would have been noticed immediately when the Ultramarines picked him up as a kid. Likewise for any overt psychic abilities. Chapters screen for that too. Not to mention that, being a Captain, he's been around for a long time. If he had any obvious psychic abilities, someone in the Librarius would have detected it at some point.

It's more likely, as Melissia said, a resistance rather than any outright immunity, and probably a subtle one considering no one noticed it till now. After all, Titus is still more or less immobilized by Nemeroth's powers, so he isn't totally untouchable, even if Nemeroth was attempting to do more harm.

It looked to me more like a Sister of Battle-esque "Act of Faith": a sort of low-level psychic ability that doesn't manifest as anything particularly noticeable, and wouldn't even be recognized as psychic unless you were looking closely. After all, Sisters are capable of dispelling psychic powers, shrugging off injury, and performing feats of inhuman strength simply through fervent belief, while they themselves are not inherently psychic. Being the main character and all, the good Captain probably just possesses unshakable faith that conveniently manifests itself as resistance to Chaos in extreme circumstances (like whenever the plot needs it).

Here is a question:
Titus spoke to the Blood Raven as if he saw the Aurailien crusade, despite the fact that there were only three groups of marines present: Grey knights (exterminatus fleet), Blood Ravens, And Black Legion. How did Titus witness the Blood Ravens Holy Fury?


ALSO. Love the Blood Raven new Battlecry: NONE SHALL FIND US WANTING!

I came into 40k probably a great deal differently than most of you, I started playing the original DoW when it first came out and enjoyed it immensely and picked up every game that came out including the dubious Soulstorm. While waiting for DoW2 I found myself reading the Wikia a great deal and I started buying codices just to read them. After buying about a dozen of them over the last several years I recently talked several of my friends into starting to play the tabletop and just ordered my first pieces a few days ago. I feel like I'm going into 40k almost backwards but I'm loving every minute of it thus far. Thanks to this forum for discussing several topics that I've enjoyed reading a great deal.

Spoiler:

Anyhow my question was, did anyone else find it odd that the Inquisition was accompanied by several Black Templars? I was moderately surprised to see that they'd be working with them, freely from what I could ascertain. I know the Inquisition has quite the interest in the BT, but to see them working together surprised me. Thanks in advance and I apologize if this is an obvious answer, I'm sure I'll be asking more questions of questionable quality the deeper into the 40k universe I get.

Aurelian crusade was original battle against Tyranids. And it was 1 year from Chaos Rising. Logical conclusion would be that those Blood Ravens are from that period ( between original DoW and CR ). Since "Space Marine" is in the past to and Retribution is in the last years of 41'st millennium ( probably ).

BTW:

Hit "Edit" and put your whole post in spoilers. There's a tag for that.

I agree with you y did templars accompany a Inquisition and the templars would have shot the captain.

Harriticus wrote:I thought those were Deathwatch. But yeah looking back on the scene they were Templars. Could have just been an insignia goof by relic as Deathwatch would make more sense given the Ork presence on the world.

In any regard Black Templar may have had some sort of history with Nemeroth and they were seeking retribution. Nemeroth may have been a former member of the Templars, who knows.

Or it could be that, y'know, the Black Templars were nearby.

What you mean like when the Blood Ravens say that they and a squad of Black Templar joined the liberation fleet?

I doubt that the Templar arrived with the Inquisitor originally, just they were the only ones willing to go help arrest an Ultramarines Captain on suspicion of Warp taint.

As a side thought wouldn't black templars be interested in a individual who was resistant to the warp? i mean if they could confer that to their entire chapter it would make up for them not allowing librarians and easier to kill and destroy the witch.

retribution spoiler

Indeed, it definitely is likely to be after retribution.

The biggest question here should really be why the original invasion force is only compriesed of a Captain, a Sergant and a Red Shirt. And why that same Captain begins the fight with only a combat knife and a bolt pistol.

On a side note its going to suck to be the Battle Brother when he has to explain why he handed over his Captian to the Inquestion

It didn't. There are a number of Marines landed. You even contact some before the fleet arrives at one point to reroute them from their current objective.

Melissia wrote:Indeed, it definitely is likely to be after retribution.

Why would you say that?
It is more logical for those marines to be in timeline between original DoW and "Chaos Rising".
( Because Retribution surely take place at the ending years of 41'st millennium and we all know that Titus was captain before all that ).

The Space Marine computer game plays in its own timeline anyways, as has been publicly announced by its developers to explain away certain inconsistencies.

As mentioned, the battle-Cry of the Blood Ravens present indicates the game takes place after DoW 2 : Retribution.

Because the Black Templar would have been nearby, and the Inquisition requisitioned a squad to accompany him?

And the Templars would have not shot the Captain, since that would be directly balking the authority of the Inquisitor they are accompanying.

I think you guys could be reading too much into it. The Blood Raven said there was also a squad of Black Templars. Perhaps they just happened to be with the Inquisitor when he happened to land and detain Titus.

Kanluwen wrote:The Inquisition can believe whatever the hell they want.

They won't act against the Astartes if they're not idiots.

Oh, why shouldn't they? An Inquisitor with the backup of his conclave/ enough political clout can, especialy if he has any proof for his accusations, act against pretty much anyone and expect to come out on top.

The last one that tried to do that got eaten alive in the end
